Rodney Startz says that doctor
prescribed him the anti-depressant
Lexapro. He says shortly before the
murder at the Walmart he stopped taking
the pill and it was the side effects
that drove him to murder.

Startz has never denied killing Donna
Angelo, but he says new studies that he
found on-line about anti-depressants
made him want to change his plea.

INSERT GRAPHIC

But the judge ruled he could not,
saying, "At this point there's nothing
that the court finds compelling to say
you have a valid defense or even any
defense at this time."

END GRAPHIC

But Startz still believes he has a case
and that experts can't prove whether
drugs played a part in the murder.

they can't do their jobs affectively.

Intense heat has a firm grip on
the southwest part of the United
States, with temperatures in parts of
Arizona reaching well over 100-degrees.

A thunderstorm near Phoenix,
Arizona Friday afternoon sent a strong
blast of wind into the Phoenix valley,
kicking up quite a bit of sand and
dropping visibility.

NINE different locations around the

Madonna, the Police and Kanye West.

Al-Gore made a "holographic"
appearance at both the Australia and
